    New Year at home

    The simplest( however very costly) can be the celebration of the New Year not at home, but, for example, in a rented cottage. Even if the weather in the city fails, then outside the city you will get a really winter entourage. Just imagine, white fluffy snow and crackle of logs in the fireplace - this is already enough for a pleasant pastime. Prepare a list of possible dishes, and let each guest bring something of his own. You can not cover the traditional table, and do something between the buffet table and the buffet. The option of holding a new year outside the city is good because it removes a certain amount of formality from this holiday.

    If you still decide to stay at home, you can consider other ways to diversify the traditional celebration. For example, you can organize a themed party. Here you can give vent to fantasies: from very simple directions to guests, for example, to dress in the colors of the coming year to more advanced preparations: pre-distribute cards with specific instructions.
    By the way, the theme party can be modified into a masquerade, for example, dressed in such a way as to represent any country. And you can prepare individual instructions, which include not only instructions on the form of clothing, but also on the role. Of course, the role must be coordinated with the guests, so that everyone can try the role, which he long ago secretly dreamed of.
    If masquerades are not for you, create a theme of the evening with the help of festive dishes and the corresponding design of the living room. Let your family and guests enjoy a juicy burrito, a salad of seafood and tortillas from Latin American cuisine or taste the little-known dishes of the Mediterranean. By the way, this will create a refreshing contrast - the feeling of summer in the middle of winter.
